CHICAGO, June Ga very heavy vote in the
jodieial election hardly to be expected to-day
TOR, although the outcome of it matter OF pro-
found Importance to the community and real anxiety
was felt throughout the city and county, 1t was
difficult to bring to the polls the class OF voters whose
interests are most deeply concerned. The Socialists
and Anarchists strained eTery nerve to bring out
their forces and entertained great hopes OF accessions
to their ranks from the large number Of idle working
men In the city. The fight to-day over two men.
The Citizens Association pat up ticket with U. h.
Horton X =. Williamson and A. N. Waterman Tor
the Republican candidates. and Julius y Grinne,
Frank Baker and Richard w. Clifford as Democrats
This ticket was approved by the Bar Association,
the Union Veteran League and the Cook County
Labor League
The ticket put up by the Democratic and Repub-
lican County Central Committees, ndorsed BY the
political assembly OF the United LIS Dor party, differed
from the Citizens ticket in only two candidates Ihe
machine" originally nominated Clay ton Il. Crafts
Ad0lph Kraus and William j. English as Democrats.
Immediately aiterwsrd came out the story that
80, 900 demanded as the price tor Democratic
nomination. There being no charges against the
Republican nominees, they were placed OH the
Citizens ticket, while Grinne Clifford and Baker
substituted tor the Democrats. Crafts declined
the nomination OF the lchlne.' and the Democrats
compelled to accept Baker on the Citizens ticket
The fight. therefore, to-day has been between Grin-
nell and Clifford On the one hand, aud Kraus ana
English on the other. The various labor political
assemblies, which are dominated by the Socialist
leaders, yesterday denounced Giinnetl in the most
vigorous terms Tor his work in the Anarchist cases
and other matters, and thousands OF copies oil papers
charging him with failure to do his DUTY in the prose-
euton OF the pinkerton men who were guilty OF the
murder OF Terrence egey at the stock yards last tall
were distributed suresg the members OF the United
Labor party clubs. Another point raised by his
opponents that he could not fnish The prosecu
ton OF the county " boodlers" were nc elected, and
this has been harped continually tor some Gays.
Only ward IN the whole Of Cook County, the sixth
OF Chicago declared in favor OF Doodle. Grinnel In
many precincts far ahead Of Clifford The result Is
hailed another decided defeat for political chicanery
and socialism.
